I guess you are looking for public-domain software, so do not want to use HP Distributed Smalltalk.
In the Smalltalk archives, you will find a goodie called :
	RemoveInvocation.st
However, this needs to be ported to VW2.0 first.

I have an enhanced version of this tool (including object copying, multiple name servers,
better performance, etc.) running on VW2.0 which I may release in the future, but do not
hold your breath...
